My fellow canadians,

It has come to my attention that the american government is onto us. They know now. Our plan to spy on them using "harmless" coins filled with nanobots, a technology as of yet unharness to its full extent by anyone but us for the sole purpose of retrieving information on President Bush's next kegger in order to gatecrash it (dude, that's totally going to rule!), has become an item of suspicion among the americans.

It is my belief that this just isn't going to work guys. We need a better plan. This is why I motion we continue the research on radio-controlled inchworms. You know, the ones Greg developped in his basement with the laser-shooting eyes and all that stuff after he suffered a massive, overwhelming LSD flashback? That totally rocked, seriously, we gotta use those next.

In conclusion, either someone's overreacting way too much or they totally caught us red-handed and are trying to make our prank backfire on us. zomg, we'd look quite the fool if that worked eh?

PS: Don't read if you're an american. ohmy.gif

Oh god, I'm so ashamed of my country I could defect.

Actually, that's not such a bad idea. laugh.gif

And everyone was laughing at me when I said we should hoard all the microwaves and then line'em up on the border, point south and nuke away. "Oh it'd never work they say, we'll use those cute little quarters they said."

WHO'S CRAZY NOW.

You guys should totally coax 'em into turning on ALL of their blowdryers at once.

What's REALLY funny about those coins is how they're worth pretty much nothing, even against the dollar. smile.gif

... meh, that joke would have been funnier if the US dollar weren't inching its way to uselessness too.

What we really need to worry about is those holographic Yu-Gi-Oh cards. The holograms are really cameras. And they're in children's bedrooms. Yes, my friends, Yugioh IS at the head of a child porn ring.

Hehe, I can't imagine anyone coming up with a plot in a movie, or book as ridiculous as this. It would instantly be accused of being to stupid and unbelieveable.

Just goes to show how crazy this world can be.

The plan is working! There was a slight hick-up when Jack Bauer nearly figured our plan on Christmas Day, but he's been... handled.

PS. Bigger photo of the quarter, as well as a more distinctive Canadian angle (Tim Horton's pops up in the text) can be found at our propaganda rag.

As someone living on the border, I can say I'm scared for my life. What will I do when you guys ride your beavers across the Niagara River to invade? I don't look forward to being decapitated by a hockey stick from some Maple Leafs fan. Tie Domi's got nothin on me.

First of all, if someone tried to ride a beaver as if it where a horse, youd kill the dang thing. Second, i now alot of people who think that the Toronto Maple Leafs suck( they do!) and third of all, i dont now where you hear this crap BUT WE DO NOT LIVE IN IGLOOS, DARNET! Right now its 23 degrees outside, and our house isnt melting.

Some guy whose job is to be overly paranoid about everything sees a coin with a color on it that metals don't come in and gets paranoid about it. Big woop.

I'd say it's a pretty big issue if someone detained me for carrying perfectly legal tender that has been in circulation where I come from for a few years now.

Someone's been watching too much 24 and Star Trek between paranoid bouts of Faux News watching. Ironic really, Kirk and Bauer are both played by... Canadian actors!

Well, you really dont need to worry about the U.S. Government doing anything. Saying the fact that are county is being led by a shubbery(actually, we would be better off if it was run by one) and the only thing he cares about is the war with Iraq, you can continue with the nanotechnology like in the coin. Oh and btw, i think my freind got over ruled by those Yu Gi Oh cards.
